Flowers of the world;

I feel that this book is the best source for embroiderers and needleworkers looking for flowers to stitch. The painted illustrations are botanically correct and beautifully drawn. I have been teaching embroidery for over forty years and have insisted that my students look for a copy of this wonderful book.

I bought this book at a yard sale for 10 dollars. I knew it was a steal. Fabulous pictures, and every flowering plant suitable for cultivation is described. Arranged taxonomically. Alas...I was broke one Christmas and gave the book to a dear friend whom I had introduced to gardening. He won't give me the book back, so we have become great friends--so that I can visit my old book. I have been searching for a copy for 5 years. Please do not release this review until you find a copy of the book for me. --joe, aka dirtboy.
